You know, you see and hear about how life after college in the working world is really fun. We're all young, nubile and perky (especially the girls get it? har har) We're making money, enjoying our independence, having sex with multiple partners with a side of no guilt (yea i wish), and relishing the silver years (golden is when you're old right?)
But no one ever mentions the amount of fucking tax is taken away each paycheck if you're single. No one mentions the monotonous 8-10 hours of work a day you do when you're a new hire. No one mentions the onslaught of bills, or how you actually DON'T get laid every weekend because you were too busy to get waxed.
I really hope the up-coming college graduates don't expect to live The Hills life where 1000's of dollars are shoved down your throat while you galavant across the town 'figuring yourself out'
The recent-college graduate life is actually a lot more difficult, tiring, and mentally draining. The fortunate ones continue partying after graduating with a bullshit degree with daddies' deep wallets. The rest of us have to try to figure out what we want to do with our lives in REAL jobs. THAT's a career in itself. I think finding the balance between enjoying your young adult status, and setting a good path for the future defines us at the stage. I hate how society / entertainment industry makes it out all to be a cake-walk and misleads the younger generation to thinking everything just comes on a silver platter.
This leads me to really hate the entertainment industry. But, that's for another blog post.
But, I do have to say my work is not as draining, since I have someone sitting next to me with a possible parasite eating her insides. It's exciting everyday to wait for it to crawl out of her (makes us all want to come to work) This one is all for you BZ. Now you're officially popular since legions of readers follow my blog.
WHEEEE! back to enjoying my early 20's.
